April 20, 2018

When you have experienced the pinnacle of your profession as Brent had done winning the NHL Stanley Cup in 2010, it is difficult to transition to a new career post-the NHL experience. It’s even more difficult when you were ignorant of your dyslexia and therefore had not put much effort into any learning activities except those related to making the NHL. Now Brent was working in the world of business and he had to focus daily on overcoming his learning challenges with dyslexia in order to perform at his business. ESPN wrote an article about how Brent’s focus on helping others with dyslexia also helped him find purpose, allowed him to better focus on his business, and you can read about it here. The article is titled “Letting his guard down about dyslexia struggles helped blueliner Brent Sopel find purpose”, written by Emily Kaplan.
